 striato-punctate; no tubercule between the bases of the antennae; 

 area between the antennae and the ocelli punctate, which laterally

 areola hexagonal in outline, but laterally the angulation is very poor, 

 about two and one-half times as long as its greatest width; first 

 abdominal segment transversely irregularly striato-granular, dis-
